Florida took an early lead but three-straight Fort Wayne tallies proved enough for the hosts to take the final game of the series. Kristers Gudlevskis had a rough night, his worst statistically since his third game in net for the Everblades. It was only the second time Gudlevskis let in more than two goals. Danick Gauthier, Maxime Langelier-Parent, Charles Landry and Carl Neilsen were still on assignment with AHL Syracuse. Dan Milan was scratched. Florida (13-5-2, 28 PTS) now returns home to take on Colorado (11-3-3, 25 PTS) for a back-to-back set beginning Friday night.
